hi.my name is Jessica, i am a 15 year old gal from Northern Ohio....about a year ago i went to church for the first time...and was saved only a month after. i decided that,despite my background and how i was brought up, i wanted to give my life to Jesus...this didn't go so hott with the people around me...my paretns did not like that fact that i started ahnging outw tih all these people from my church.most of them are older than me..college and stuff...and i understand y they got scared. but they also would not tell me tak aboutGod because they thought my bible based church was trying to like, brainwash me. they think u just live ur life, and do not ask any higher power to help u...thats just how they were raised. but i know Jesus and i love Him! also, my friends that i used to hagn out with during my "none saved" years do not likemy new found life. they make fun of me and give me a hard time for having anything to do with it...sometimes i just wanna give up...any help?
